Infertility affects about 10% of Australian women and the success rates of current infertility treatments are low due to our poor knowledge of eggs development. The numbers of obese and older women trying to conceive are increasing; fertility treatments are even less effective for them. I have generated mouse models to elucidate the pathways regulating egg development. I will study for alterations in these pathways in the mouse models which perfectly mimic the obesity and aging in women.

大约10%的澳大利亚女性患有不孕症，由于我们对卵子发育的了解不足，目前治疗不孕症的成功率很低。试图怀孕的肥胖和高龄妇女的数量正在增加；生育治疗对她们的效果更差。我已经建立了小鼠模型来阐明调节卵子发育的途径。我将在小鼠模型中研究这些通路的变化，这些模型完美地模仿了女性的肥胖和衰老。
